Good luck with koi carp

Chapter 260 Captain
Chi Lili took two quick steps to Lao Yang's side, and then he took her to greet a group of military leaders, saying that she wanted to make themselves familiar with them.

Except for Chi Lili, the lowest level among those who are about to participate in the awarding ceremony is Lao Yang, so she can really be called the boss of everyone. Even if she is an S-level therapist, it will be very beneficial for her to make friends with these people.

Chi Lili is just a little introverted because of her childhood experiences, but she is not stupid. In such an important occasion, as a junior, she still has the necessary manners.

In fact, all the big guys knew who she was. After all, the federal plan was kept secret and it was no secret to them. It was just that everyone had only heard of her before and had never actually seen Chi Lili in person, so they didn't know what her personality was like.

Now seeing that this young person is humble and polite, and not proud or complacent because of her high talent and the achievements she has made at such a young age, everyone looks up to her and is happy to praise her.

After all, no one can predict whether the person who is your junior today will become the healer who saves your life in the future.

Who can come this far without being a shrewd person?

They will do this kind of thing, which can leave a guarantee for the future as long as they have a slightly better attitude, and they will even do it quite well.

For a moment, Chi Lili even felt like she was basking in the spring breeze. She felt that the people here spoke nicely and meaningfully. Not to mention their specific suggestions, just listening to them chatting about the war situation could benefit her a lot.

Even though due to the public occasion, people only touch upon such topics briefly and do not discuss them in depth, but the same thing spoken by ordinary people and by military leaders are two completely different perspectives, and the latter is bound to be more transparent and clear than the former.

While chatting with people, Chi Lili unconsciously entered the learning state. She just felt that time passed too quickly. When the staff came to inform her that the ceremony was about to begin, she still felt a little unsatisfied.

But business was more important, so everyone immediately stopped talking about the topic, straightened their clothes, put on a serious face, and lined up in an orderly manner to enter the venue.

The venue has been decorated in a solemn and dignified manner. Chi Lili also noticed that there are fully automatic flying cameras filming around. Even if the images are not open to the public, they will be retained as internal data.

The process of the awarding ceremony was not complicated. After entering, a special staff member explained it to Chi Lili. It was nothing more than listening to the speech of the highest leader of the Federation first, and then the awarding ceremony began one by one from the lowest to the highest. The person awarding the title was said to be the commander of the First Legion, the highest military commander of the Federation.

It is also an honor for this person to confer the title on them.

Chi Lili was promoted to the lowest military rank and was a newcomer, so naturally she was ranked first.

When her name was called, and the highlights of the northern border battlefield were played on the virtual big screen behind her, she almost forgot what she was doing there. She instinctively put on a stern face and walked forward to the designated position for awarding titles.

Chi Li, who was hiding in the host's spiritual sea and watching this scene with great interest, felt both funny and worried.

Although this scene was theoretically very serious, for some reason, imagining her host's still childish face and her being so nervous that she was almost at a loss for words, she really felt like a child playing house.

However, Chi Li was also afraid that the host would be too nervous and something would go wrong, so she was always prepared to take over her body and help her complete the investiture ceremony if she couldn't handle herself.

Fortunately, even though she was a little nervous facing such a big scene for the first time, Chi Lili still relied on her strong willpower to hold on. She completed the entire awarding ceremony without any mistakes until she received an extra medal on the shoulder of her military uniform.

However, when she returned to her seat, Lao Yang, who was closest to her, heard her obviously heaved a sigh of relief.

Unable to do anything unnecessary, Lao Yang could only comfort her with his eyes, and then signaled to her that there was nothing else to do and she just had to wait.

Even if your awarding ceremony is completed, you cannot leave. You have to wait until the whole ceremony is over. This is why the ceremony should be arranged from low to high. If those with higher positions complete the ceremony first, you can't let the big guys wait for those small shrimps, right?

Another reason is that the more important the product, the last one to leave the factory. Although I don't know where this rule comes from, since it has been implemented for many years and is widely used in various fields, there is no need to question it unless there is any conflict. Just do it.

Fortunately, people were not required to stand there during the entire ceremony. There were seats arranged below and tea was provided at each seat. Not only could they sit down and rest, but they could also drink water if they were thirsty.

Chi Lili was not thirsty. She sat down and did not move. Then she noticed Chi Li's unusual silence.

"what happened?"

Before, even if she didn't make any sound, she could sense Chi Li's condition from time to time. This time, the other party seemed to be completely still. Not only did she not move, but even her tail, which was soaked in the sea of ​​​​consciousness, didn't sway. This had to arouse Chi Lili's attention.

After hearing the host's voice, Chi Li broke the forbidden state and said in a slightly dazed voice: "I seem to sense a familiar breath."

"A familiar smell? Did you run into someone you know?"

Chi Lili knew a little about Chi Li's origins. When she heard her words, she immediately realized that the acquaintance mentioned in the other party's words was probably someone from the same world as her.

"Where, who is it?" She looked around subconsciously.

At the same time, he asked cautiously: "Is he an enemy or a friend?"

"He's not an enemy." Seeing that she had frightened the host, Chi Li hurriedly comforted her: "Strictly speaking, he can be considered a friendly force, but I'm not sure if it's him, because his aura is a bit erratic, as if he's on someone else but not like someone else, so I'm a bit confused."

"So who is it?" Chi Lili asked.

"That person." Chi Li pointed with her little arm, and then realized that the host could not see her in the spiritual sea, and added: "The one who just awarded you the title."

"Award me the title..." Chi Lili subconsciously turned her gaze to the young man on the stage who was awarding the title to Lao Yang.

Chi Lili was so nervous when she was awarded the title just now that she didn't have the spare time to look at the other person. Now that the ceremony was completed and she sat back in her seat, she had calmed down and had time to carefully look at this legendary figure.

I believe there is no interstellar being who doesn't know him.

Huo Zhuoyan, 29 years old this year, is a triple S-level mecha warrior. He graduated from the Federal Military Academy with a double doctorate degree, majoring in combat command and mecha combat. He is currently the commander of the First Legion of the Federation, the highest commander of the Federal Military, and has the rank of general. He has almost always been in charge of the front-line battlefield since he joined the army. It is because of him that the Zerg has been unable to break through the front-line defense and invade the Federation. Therefore, he is deeply loved by the people of the Federation and is a role model in the eyes of every soldier.

It is said that his spirit beast is a legendary dragon, and his level 3S spirit power does not mean that he can only reach level 3S, but the level of spirit power in the entire galaxy is limited to level 3S. Huo Zhuoyan's actual strength is far beyond this level, so he can sit in such a high-risk position at such a young age, and no one dares to question him.

Since there were almost no photos of the other party leaked online, and the ones that existed were blurry like the ones that were secretly taken of her before, Chi Lili had only heard of the other party but never seen him in person. Today was the first time she saw him in person.

She was too nervous to look carefully before, but after taking a closer look now, she just wanted to say that the other party's appearance is completely proportional to his achievements. Not only does he have a good face, but his body proportions are also quite excellent. His tall body over 1.9 meters is wrapped in a layer of rigorous and tight military uniform, which makes people want to tear it apart. However, the powerful aura emanating from his body makes people dare not act rashly. He is like a majestic dragon, which makes people yearn for it but dare not offend it.

Maybe it was because Chi Lili stared at someone for too long, Huo Zhuoyan, who was awarding a title to the next person on the stage, suddenly looked up at her. Chi Lili immediately lowered her head to take the water cup and pretended to drink water to cover up the embarrassment of being caught.

Obviously, it was the host who was caught, but at that moment Chi Li subconsciously lowered her head into the water and pretended that she did not peek.

After a while, the senses she shared with the host let her know that the other party had looked away, and Chi Li emerged from the sea of ​​​​consciousness: "Are you okay?"

"Probably not. I just took a closer look out of curiosity. I didn't do anything. At most you'll say I'm rude." Chi Lili comforted Chi Li.

In fact, at the awarding ceremony, no matter who it was, their eyes were focused on the center of the stage. In addition to the protagonist who received the awarding, there was also Huo Zhuoyan, who was mainly responsible for awarding people the titles. With his outstanding identity, achievements and appearance, it was difficult for anyone not to focus their eyes on him. Logically speaking, the other party should have been used to it, so why would he only notice her?

"Maybe it's because you don't look familiar?" Chi Li made a guess.
It has been said that all those present are bigwigs in the military, so they must be familiar with each other, if not familiar with each other. So when a strange face suddenly appears among a group of familiar faces, it will naturally attract attention.

Chi Lili felt that what Chi Li said made sense, and she quickly put the matter behind her and stopped paying attention to it.

However, Chi Li appeared from the host's spiritual sea at some point and hid in the chest pocket of her shirt, with her little head popping out to look out.

As soon as he saw it, he met a pair of golden dragon eyes. The other party was also hiding in the host's chest pocket, only sticking out a golden dragon head to look at Chi Li. If you don't know, you might think they are some kind of toy ornaments, but in fact they are two living spiritual beasts.

After confirming something from the other person's eyes, Chi Li returned to the host's spiritual sea and did not come out or say a word again until the end of the inauguration ceremony.

When the time for the show to end came, everyone went their separate ways. There were no meals or entertainment activities. After all, everyone was busy with their work, and being able to squeeze out time to attend the awarding ceremony was already the result of postponing a lot of work, and they would have to make up for it by working overtime afterwards. They really didn't have time to waste on such meaningless socializing.

In comparison, Chi Lili...is not having an easy time either.

After the promotion, her workload increased significantly. Not only does she have to deal with daily study, training, and treatment, but she also has to learn how to get started in her current job.

Fortunately, Major General Zhong, no, now he should call her Lieutenant General Zhong, knew that her main identity was still a student. He knew that it was a bit too much for her to handle so many tasks at once, so he did not transfer her from the assault battalion, but kept her in the original camp to train and get along with familiar comrades.

Yes, running-in.

Chi Lili is about to be assigned to a small team. There won't be many people, only ten in total including her. But as the captain of this team, she must work well with her teammates one by one and develop a certain tacit understanding so that they won't let each other down on the battlefield in the future.

Days always pass quickly in a fulfilling life. Before you know it, a year and a half has passed.

Today, Chi Lili celebrated her 18th birthday, but she had no intention of celebrating her birthday at all, or she had long forgotten that today was her birthday. This led to her being sprayed with ribbons all over her face as soon as she walked into the cafeteria, and her confused look made everyone burst into laughter.

"Hahaha... Happy birthday, Captain Chi!"

"Happy birthday!"

……

After being congratulated by everyone, Chi Lili suddenly realized that today seemed to be her birthday.

Although she had not planned to celebrate her birthday, it was someone else's kindness and she couldn't refuse. As she walked forward surrounded by the crowd, Chi Lili politely thanked them and smiled unconsciously on her face.

But she didn't know that when everyone saw her smile, they looked at each other, smiled even more, and gathered together to sing birthday songs for her.

Today the canteen chef specially made a cake for them, as well as a bowl of longevity noodles with eggs. Chi Lili ate the longevity noodles and shared the cake with everyone. The crowd didn't make a fuss for too long and almost dispersed, after all, they still had to carry out patrol missions tomorrow.

Chi Lili today is not the same person she was more than a year ago.

It was not until later that she found out that every time she treated someone's mental strength, it was counted as a military merit.

In fact, when ordinary therapists join the army, their main role is to treat the mental disturbances of their comrades, rather than directly going to the battlefield to fight the enemy. Therefore, their promotion path is different from that of ordinary people, and they accumulate military merits by treating a large number of people.

Chi Lili took both paths, so she accumulated military merit faster than most people. In just over a year, she advanced two levels and reached the rank of captain. She was appointed captain of a space cruise frigate, leading thousands of people and patrolling the federal border on a daily basis to perform guard duties.

After all these years of study, Chi Lili's leadership ability cannot be said to be the best, but it is pretty good. At least she has not made any mistakes in the course of her work.

This patrol mission is almost coming to an end. After the last leg, she will set off to return to the capital planet, and then...

Go to the frontline battlefield.

The transfer order has already come down, and Chi Lili will directly join the main force of the Second Legion on the front line along with this cruiser, assisting the federal army in fighting against the Zerg invasion.

It's been very difficult on the front line these days, and we're in urgent need of help from high-level healers.

Under such circumstances, the Federation was still willing to take on the pressure and give Chi Lili two years to grow, which was already quite good. You have to know that some countries simply didn't give so much time for their own senior therapists to train well, and they sent people directly to the battlefield after only three months of recruit training.

Even if there were more protection teams, the result was predictable. The senior healer was killed by the Zerg in a desperate attack due to negligence of the protection team.

After this incident, all therapists in the other country felt insecure and launched large-scale demonstrations and strikes to protest the government's act of sending people to the battlefield at will.

Due to the therapists' strike, many people with mental disorders in the other country were unable to receive timely treatment and lost their minds and went crazy. It is said that the country was in chaos for a long time and almost caused an internal war. It even affected neighboring countries and sounded the alarm for other interstellar countries in the universe.

Seeing this, many countries and organizations that were originally eager to send senior therapists to the battlefield slowed down their pace and quietly extended the training time of their own senior therapists, at least to ensure that the other side had the most basic self-protection ability on the battlefield before sending them to the battlefield.

These international news were all seen by Chi Lili when she was free and playing on the Star Network and then told to the host. Chi Lili herself was so busy every day that she had no time to read the news. She could only rely on the spirit beast to help extract information so that she could keep abreast of international current affairs.

In fact, the disturbances in the outside world had little to do with Chi Lili, because the Federation had never planned to send her to the front battlefield so early. Chi Lili's study and training had always been arranged in a planned manner. It was just that she was too competitive, so she completed the original three-year training plan in two years.

Although this would mean that she would have to go to the battlefield that was rumored to be the most dangerous in advance, in Chi Lili's opinion, risks always coexist with opportunities. If she had not encountered this opportunity, even though she would have been valued by the Federation because of her identity as an S-level therapist, she would definitely not have received such unremitting cultivation.

If she agreed to join the army in the beginning simply because she wanted to escape from her original family, now, Chi Lili has ambitions in her heart that she never had before. She also wants to make achievements and become a figure like General Gao, or even surpass him.

Chi Lili has always kept this ambition deep in her heart and has never told anyone about it. Only Chi Li, who has a spiritual connection with her, knows about it, and Chi Li encourages her about it.

As long as the host does not go astray in the end, this ambition will be her driving force for progress.

The last leg of the cruise went smoothly without any incidents.

Everyone cheered for luck at the end, but they didn't know that the person who really brought good luck was hiding in their captain's spiritual sea.

"Let's set off and return to the capital planet."

As Chi Lili's order was given, everyone immediately calmed down and went to their respective jobs. The cruiser sailing in the vast universe turned around and headed back.
